Even though you don't want to litigate the whole block size war, you still want to argue that the blocksize needs to increase in order to facilitate bitcoin transactions...and I see no real reason to add to what I already said.. it is not like I have anything more to say except maybe to just repeat that the problem and/or the solution is not as non-controversial as you are making it seem to be, with your ongoing insistence on wanting to change bitcoin in the direction of BIGGER blocks and your continuing to believe that bitcoin transactions would be improved from that kind of a change...
*sigh* you always do this. What I want is not the issue. I am describing why things are how they are. What people wish to take away from it is up to them. I agree with you, in fact. The Bitcoin community, for however that is constituted, took Bitcoin in the direction of store of value rather than electronic cash. That, ultimately, has consequences. That you may or may not like those consequences has little bearing on the truth of the matter. Whether changing things one way or the other is easy or hard, controversial or not, likewise has no bearing. It is simply a B follows A kind of statement.
and even in this calendar year the mempool cleared a lot and we have been having a lot of blocks with single digit sats per vbyte that translates into very low fees of under $1 to send small transactions or even very large amounts of value for the same onchain transaction costs.
The OP was asking why no one was using Bitcoin and your boast is that interest in using Bitcoin is so low that even with quite small blocks, fees are quite low? Do youee-pooey see the issue there? Though I would disagree that $1 is low and being that high eliminates whole swathes of possible transactions. Still, it's a little bit better than the unpredictable $20s we were seeing, I suppose. Of course, god forbid that interest picks up again.
Holders made out while users like myself make less.
So when the pendulum swings towards btc users wo morons insult us.
To jjg and to gachpin maybe we go to 44k not 74k to 66k as holders need more pain.
Its funny how nasty holders get when natural slippage happens. At Richy_T thanks for slapping back at jjg.
